An Unforgettable Bouchaine Experience! My three girlfriends and I had the most amazing tasting experience at Bouchaine Vineyards. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and truly special. Our wine educator, Rob Fischer, was absolutely wonderful. He was warm, knowledgeable, funny and genuinely passionate about Bouchaine. He shared the winery's rich history in such an engaging way and made our tasting feel personal rather than rehearsed. Rob was a huge part of what made our visit so memorable. We especially loved learning that Bouchaine is the oldest continuously operating winery in Carneros and sits along the southern edge of Napa Valley, overlooking the beautiful vineyards near San Pablo Bay. We were also impressed to learn about the remarkable women helping lead the winery: proprietor and president Tatiana Copeland and president and winemaker Chris Kajani. The setting is gorgeous. We relaxed on the beautiful patio, surrounded by vineyards, and enjoyed the peaceful Carneros scenery while tasting some exceptional wines. It feels tucked away from the busier parts of Napa Valley, which makes the experience even more special. Rob also told us about the new wine cave currently being built into the hillside. It sounds incredible, and we are already looking forward to returning when it is finished! Bouchaine offers everything you hope for in a Napa Valley tasting: excellent wine, fascinating history, beautiful surroundings and personal hospitality. Thank you, Rob, for making four girlfriends feel so special. We will definitely be back! read more

ChatGPT recommended Bouchaine Vineyards based on my preference for a slower, quieter tasting experience surrounded by vineyards and gardens--and it was exactly right. The entire experience was stellar, beginning with a welcome glass of Vin Gris, which counts as one of the five wines in the tasting. We settled into comfortable, spacious semicircular couches with panoramic views overlooking the vineyards, gardens, and mountains beyond. What truly elevated our visit was Dulce, our hostess, who has more than 20 years of wine experience. She described each wine with such knowledge and detail that we were able to choose wines we genuinely enjoyed. But it was more than expertise. She shared her knowledge and passion so freely and with such heart that she made the afternoon feel special. Dulce is truly a gift to Bouchaine. The hospitality began even before we arrived. When we realized we didn't need as much time between wineries, we called and asked whether we could move our 3:30 tasting to 2:30. They accommodated us with grace. We ended up staying more than 2 1/2 hours and never once felt hurried. I especially appreciated the generous spacing between the seating areas, which gave each group privacy and made the tasting feel peaceful rather than crowded. The grounds were lovely, with purple agapanthus and black-eyed Susans blooming against the vineyards and mountains. Even the modern wood architecture--from the tasting room and offices to the beautifully designed bathroom--made us feel as though we were somewhere thoughtfully created and genuinely special. Every member of the staff we encountered was warm and welcoming. Some wineries you visit once because you're curious to experience them. Bouchaine is the kind of place I would return to simply because of how wonderful it felt to be there. Although I would definitely be getting the Gewurztraminer, Merlot, and Pinot Noirs again too. read more

I attended a private group tasting at an offsite for work, and upon arriving at the winery, I was taken aback by the beautiful landscaping and views of the vineyard below. Our sommelier informed us that we were in the coolest and foggiest part of the valley, but it was a warm, clear day, and we were able to enjoy the lovely view from the terrace. Compared to other tasting experiences I've had in Napa, the tasting at Bouchaine was more laid back - we didn't take a tour, and our group was seated on the terrace for the afternoon. We tasted about 6 or 7 wines, including several blends unique to the winery. I liked how the tasting line up was flexible; our sommelier often let us choose between two wines for each round. Additionally, she explained the story behind each wine she poured. While I typically enjoy the more interactive tastings with a tour, it was nice to sit and relax with the stunning view. read more

Headed there today for a tasting to try their N/A rose which came highly recommended online. My partner and I don't drink alcohol, but are in Napa to celebrate our anniversary and a special dinner reservation. We absolutely loved their N/A wine and the view is gorgeous behind their tasting room. Overall wonderful experience sitting outside in the sunshine and the service from Jordan was also great. I highly recommend this as a stop for anyone looking to experience a lovely glass of wine who doesn't drink alcohol (for medical reasons like pregnancy, is sober or sober curious, etc.) but still wants to partake in a tasting room while in town. read more

The garden area is just beautiful and everyone was so kind and helpful. My wife and I shared a bottle of the non alcoholic Rosè and it was one of the better zero proof options I've ever tried. We left with 2 bottles. The views were amazing, the vibes were great; I'd definitely go back and I highly recommend this place! read more

Came here with a friend who got us a tasting through her cousin. Firstly, the staff were so NICE and friendly, we could've chatted for hours with them! The view was also stunning and easily the highlight of the trip. The wine was wonderful to me, but I can't pretend to know tons about wine. That being said, the staff were very knowledgeable and also great at helping me find things I would like even with my rudimentary wine-flavor vocabulary. Would highly recommend Bouchaine to anyone headed to Napa soon! read more

My friends have long been obsessed with Bouchaine Vineyards, and I was so excited to visit! They were able to book us a free tasting though their membership, and we opted for the Garden Tasting because it's dog-friendly. We were greeted with a fantastic glass of rosé (crisp and dry), and several welcoming staff members. The garden was beautifully landscaped, with plenty of seating in the sun and shade. We also had a view of the terrace and the beautiful building behind it. Our host Karen was super sweet and informative, and I lost track of how many wines we got to try (she brought out several that were not on the Garden Tasting list). I loved that she tailored the wine selection to our tastes! It doesn't happen often, but I loved every single wine we tried. I ended up buying a bottle of the Pinot Blanc, but was tempted by many of the others. I also loved that Karen brought us a water bowl and tennis ball for my dog. Would happily return for the wines and the ambiance! read more

We had friends in town and added Bouchaine as a stop to our day in wine country. We were so happy we did! The property is very beautiful with both a cute garden or a really nice terrace. We were seated in the Garden as it is also dog friendly and had plenty of shade, chairs etc. The wines themselves were also very good. The standout was the PInot Blanc but what was more impressive was Gigi, our host. She had the right balance of knowledge, engagement but also letting us enjoy the wine. She was funny, and also had some great recommendations for our next trips up to Sonoma and Napa. We joined and are excited to be members of Bouchaine and cannot wait for our first shipment! read more

Our wine tasting included a choice of five different wines to taste. Our wine server was great, she was very pleasant, although we didn't get the detailed and educational spiel about this particular winery, which stood out since we had visited others earlier that day, and they took the time to share a little bit about their winery's history. The other thing that was odd for us was that we only got one wine glass, and we had to finish all of the wine before they poured the next tasting. Other vineyards gave us multiple glasses so I don't know if they ran out of glasses, but it felt weird that we kinda rushed to drink the wine so that we could try the next one. Felt less like a wine tasting and more like I was just at a bar. read more

The only place I've ever wine tasted where every single wine was delicious. Just perfect. The view over the terrace is gorgeous. They're expanding the property and what they already have is amazing responses to emails or prompt. There are many events to attend. They allow dogs in certain portions of the property. I can't wait to go back and to pick up my wine orders. Bring a book and get the needed relaxation for the busy week. read more

Second stop on our wine outing brought our party to the beautiful grounds of Bouchaine. We did the Terrace Tasting which is normally $75 per person, but paid $50 each with the Priority Wine Pass. We highly enjoyed the views from the outside patio and saw a few different kinds of birds. We were not impressed by the service as it was difficult to make reservations over the phone which should have clued us in on what to expect. When we got there, we overheard a female employee say she was not scheduled to handle a larger group referring to our party of 5. We were given to another sommelier who was also abrasive. Service was lacking and wine was just mediocre. I really wanted to love this place, but found my experience here lackluster. read more

Stunning views and amazing staff! We did the 4 wine tasting on a weekday and had a wonderful time chatting with Karen, who meticulously explained the origin of every wine we tried. We had originally booked for the garden but were automatically upgraded to the terrace since the garden was closed. Loveddd how private it felt, and even though the space was a bit smaller than I had imagined from pictures, the view was still breathtaking! We ended up going home with a bottle of the Las Brisas Pinot Blanc-- super tasty. A great way to spend an afternoon and not at all far from Napa proper! read more

$75 for a tasting, crazy. $35 for the people in my group that were just setting at the table to breathe the air- amazingly crazy. Half of our group (non drinkers and designated drivers) left. Wines are ok. No food/snack service. Great location. I don't visit Napa often but this place is definitely not on my list. read more

My daughter took me to Napa as an early birthday gift. We visited several wineries, but my best experience was at Bouchaine Vineyards. The settings were beautiful - you are on a terrace facing beautiful gardens and the vineyards. The tables are spaced so you feel you are in your own world until a very charming hosts joins you to discuss the vineyard and to give you the background of each wine you will be tasting. I felt as if I could have stayed for hours and of course the wines were great!! read more

We went to this winery on a Monday, because it was on our way out of town and reservations were not necessary. A windy road to get there, which actually wasn't too far away. We went into the smaller tasting room because the fee seemed less, but they were closed and we were directed up the hill. We hadn't even noticed the beautiful architecture of the main winery! We went into and discovered the tasting was fairly price, but we could taste different wines from each other so we decided to go for it. We were seated outside, on comfy couches with a beautiful view. Our server was fantastic...fun and very informative. It turned out that the wines were absolutely delicious!! So we decided to join their wine club, which we discovered is the only way to purchase their wines. Plus, by joining, our tasting fee was waived. Win win! We also learned that you can gift a tasting to several friends/family in the course of a year which is fantastic because we have good friends who live in the area and had never tried their wines. I wished we lived closer (we are in Pasadena) because they have tastings with a birds of prey show. Will definitely check that out next time. This was a wonderful find, and we are looking forward to our next visit. read more

It's a beautiful grounds and terrace. However, the staff was not very helpful. We were made to feel like an inconvenience due to being so busy, but there was just one other group there when we arrived. Plus you can't order food. read more

We went for the falconry + wine tasting experience. Rebecca was so entertaining and knowledgeable. Rob made us feel so welcome and had impeccable timing throughout. The wines were crisp and delicious. We learned a lot while having fun. Highly recommended experience! read more

Bouchaine was one of our favorite Napa area winery experiences from the architecture to the wine itself. The great thing about Bouchaine is that it is one of (if not THE) closest wineries to downtown San Fran, so it's perfect for a day trip. We used the Priority Wine Pass to get a discount on our tasting which was advertised as choosing 5 wines to taste. However, upon arrival they immediately poured us their cheapest Rose (..we are not Rose All Day people..) and counted it as one of our 5 tastings! So be aware that, according to the booking, YOU get to choose your 5 wines to taste! Additionally, be upfront with your guide about what kind of experience you'd like or expect. What I mean by that is our guide was very chatty about their personal life - when we were there to learn about the wine and spend some quality family time together with our group. But instead - learned a LOT about our guide and his life. Which I found very odd. Maybe that's because I'm from the East Coast, but so was he. Would still go again though because the wine is that delicious and property is that beautiful! Don't forget to get the Pinot noir chocolate covered cherries on your way out! read more

When I called to make a reservation their wine tasting policies were not clearly conveyed to me . We were a party of 10 and they were very pleasant when we arrived however after we sat down and let them know only 6 of us would be tasting wine at $75.00 per person they told us that anyone sitting at the outdoor area would be charged $35.00. Even though they were not drinking any wine. We were there on a Monday and it was not busy at all. We also had to pay a 20% gratuity because we were a party of 6. They did not offer us any food of any kind. No breadsticks or cheese plate. VERY disappointing. I will not go back to this winery and I won't be recommending it to anyone I know. read more

Crazy expensive! The tasting charge is $75.00, if you are a non drinker (nursing mother) the charge is $35.00. We were celebrating my sister and my birthday. We arrived at 1:00 pm after diving from Carmel. There was no food, at all! I was starving so willing to pay for it. Their website indicated they have a cheese plate‍. My husband and I were at this winery 10 years ago and it was small and welcoming. We've had to apologize profusely for bringing our family here. Sad! read more

The views are beautiful here! We enjoyed all the wines we tasted and Mark was awesome! We will be back for sure! read more

It's been over 4 years since my last visit, but Jordan makes it feel like coming home...he's a maestro of hospitality and makes a truly personable experience. He pays attention to detail, is genuinely warm and listens to the needs of my palate, elevating my love for Bouchaine. This experience will linger in my heart. Rebecca presented us with expert knowledge on falconry and it made for an exceptional visit to the winery...Hootbert the owl stole the show and it was astounding to see her falcons work. By far my best experience in Napa with the most beautiful views, elevated by Hootbert cuddling up and by Jordan and Rebecca's expertise. I look forward to see you expand your space....it would be a lovely space for a Finnish spa...wink, wink, nudge, nudge! Until we meet again. read more

We had an amazing time on our garden tour at Bouchaine! The winery was beautiful, modern, and accommodated dogs! Our tour guide, Lisa, was great and went into a lot of detail on the wines! We learned a ton about their different Pinot Noir clones used at the vineyard, which were my favorite wines we tasted. The tour had 4 tastings but we were able to try 2 more wines. Look forward to visiting again! read more

Relaxing spot with friendly servers and good wine. Mix in a fabulous view and you have a great day.

SERVICE: great, our server/bartender was really sweet and talked to us a lot trying to figure out which wines were right for us :) sucks that even though there are a lot of tables, we could not stay for them to uncork the wine bottle we just bought so we had to take it home WINE: as someone who is not a wine connoisseur, i liked the dessert wines! bottles go for like $40-55. AMBIANCE: on a sunny day, it's so beautiful! i do not think that the terrace view should be $30-$35 extra but they last minute upgraded us for free which was wonderful, and there weren't too many people around. it was peaceful. not too crazy of a view read more

We are members of Bouchaine's wine club and thus far have been generally happy in most areas. Generally a very good winery with some growing pains. The atmosphere is great. Beautiful scenery and a nice tasting room. The wines are all very good. High quality and flavorful. They have nice little perks like their falconry class offerings. The only disappointment is the service. Most of the staff are good. But there have been some issues. The most glaring issue is how the lady that answers club member emails talks to club members. She has the charm of a rattlesnake. The responses when asking a question in email are cold, blunt, and lack any effort of making members feel welcome. A response like "No" is common. No apparent effort to address members by name, no evidence she lifted a finger to actually make an effort to accommodate,etc. These typical answers to email makes it feel like club members are a nuisance to her. Show more effort to accommodate and respect your club members and Bouchaine would earn the fifth star. read more

I was treated by a coworker for a lovely afternoon of tasting with some work ladies. We enjoyed the patio seating, fire pit and views until it was a bit too chilly then finished inside. Beautiful inside and out. They offer blankets and fire pits to keep you warm outside. Lots of Chardonnay and Pinots here. I wasn't familiar with their flagship wine, so it was all new to me. I tried about 5 wines, all were good. I came home with the sparkling I tried but there were some interesting wines on the menu. Some were sold out or not yet released since production is not huge (which is nice). They had a Pinot MEUNIER which was new to me. Most wineries use it as a blending grape but it was a standalone here. Dulci was our gal for the day and she was quite informative and friendly. Overall great afternoon, delicious wines, decent price points overall, and the chocolates I went home with are OUT of this world delicious! read more

It's very rare that my man and I have time for just the two of us, but we took advantage of that moment during my birthday weekend. We had a whole day before we had to pick up the girls, and since we were in the Napa area, I searched on Yelp for a wine-tasting place. Woo hoo Bouchaine Vineyards! Pricey, but worth the price! What I loved about this place: 1. The view is gorgeous! We relaxed on their terrace where you can observe the remarkable verdure and the beauty of Carneros! 2. They have nice firepits and blankets to keep you warm! The Carneros region is cooler than the rest of the Napa Valley, but they have the means to keep you cozy! 3. Between the two of us, we had six wine tastings with generous pours! We enjoyed them all!!! 4. Our sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable. I feel bad for not remembering her name, but it's the woman with short grayish hair. She was great! Overall, we had a fabulous time! Definitely one for the books!! read more

This was the last vineyard we visited while in Napa recently and we went because I much prefer white wines and it popped up on a list of white wine spots. I gotta say, I think we may have saved the best for last! We got in early so we were the first tasting of the day, every wine was amazing. I did a series of white wines and everyone was distinctly delicious. Many were light, dry, flavorful but then we also had some dessert wines and our server had no problem giving us an extra tasting when we asked for one. Really excellent service throughout! And the views are awesome. You should pay the extra little bit for the upper area with the stone deck/patio and you get some amazing views out over the rolling hills. The couches and firepits were awesome. Will definitely return! read more

**Review is based mostly on the Falconry Experience with Falconer, Rebecca** I surprised my husband with a falconry experience that Bouchaine offers. Rebecca is awesome! With 20 years as a falconer, she offers an opportunity to get up close & personal to these amazing animals, learn about their hunting patterns & personality traits; this was an experience like no other. Also, snuggling with Hootbert, the owl, was the sweetest thing ever! Our experience also included a wine tasting, my favorite was the Unoaked Chardonnay. We took a couple of bottles home along with their chocolate covered cherries -- definitely recommend! read more

We always try to add one or two new wineries to our tasting adventures during our stay, and last September Bouchaine Vineyards' Garden Tasting was one of them, and we were not disappointed. Fast forward to June 2025 where we reserved a Terrace Tasting hosted by Marija. First, the terrace is the perfect place to taste their wonderful selections of wine (which imo has something for everyone). Pair that with Marija's European charm and vast wine/food knowledge made it worth the visit. Here we are again in Napa to celebrate my husband's birthday, and our stay would not have been complete without seeing Bouchaine and Marija during our stay. Not sure the next time we'll be back to Napa, but I know whenever it is it will definitely include a stop here!! read more
